I'm very proud of all the military for the awesome job they are doing. Will your husband be coming home soon? My prayers are with you all God Bless
Peggy

My husband was just home for R&R, I am still trying to recover No, he won't be coming home any time soon, but that would give me the opportunity to graduate quicker. He calls me every day, and we get to see each other online via webcams. I can't complain. I wish he were here of course, but that's his job and responsability, and I support him 110% in anyway I can.

HI Jenny

I bet you did enjoy his time home together even if family was around I'm trying to learn the web cam thing can you talk as you see each other? We tryed and could only talk by phone I did see Tara on line so now we are working on the web cam. I support her and all the ones over there. Praying for an end soon so they all can come home.

Yes, we use Skype and are able to see each other and talk at the same time. What program are you using to communicate?

I hope this ends soon too and they all come home!

we are using Yahoo messenger. Tara is trying to find out a wireless internet there so she can get hers to work better. Is Skype in Iraq if you can will you send me any information on how to get intouch with them so I can relay the message to Tara. Thanks for you help.

Skype is a program just like messenger and others. Here is the link, I hope it works out for you:

My husband and I bought webcams, so while we talk, we can actually see each other. It would be like a video conference! We haven't tried it yet because they had a blackout for several days, and before that the Internet was not set up in his new room. I will let you know how it works in the next couple of days (I hope

Thank you I let Tara no of this and she will be checking it out. Hope you get to talk to your husband by web cam soon

Hello All

Just wanted to say Happy Easter to everyone. I no Easter will not be the same with out our love ones home, but I hope everyone has as nice of one that they can as we pray for all our Military and for a speedy return of all troops. Happy Easter

Happy Easter Here also

Peggy and everyone else,

Happy Easter!

I hope that you get to talk/see Tara over the Internet soon! Yahoo Messenger w/ Voice also works pretty good. I got to see my husband already (but we didn't talk, just chat, because the connection was not that great) and it's so cool. I got to see his room and the table he built. Sigh...

Jenny

That is so awesome I'm glad you got to chat. We are using yahoo messenger also and talk to Tara we have to get use to the delay in between you and them talking the web cam on her end wasn't working for her she saw us but we couldn't see her. We also tryed MSN but it has a bad conection so we us yahoo for now. Blessing

HI everyone,

Just wanting to say Happy 4th of July hope you all have a nice one.

Peggy

Hi Peggy, just checking in I hope everything is going well with you. We are getting really close to the end of this deployment YAY!!! How is Tara doing?

Hello everyone! I have read all the conversation of this link and would like to say that I understand where you all are coming from. I am in the Army myself as is my husband. I deployed to Afghanistan in Macrh 05 and returned in Mar 06. My husband deployed to Iraq in August 05 and will not be returning untill December 06. Out of the first 1 year and 5 months of our marriage, my husband will see eachother for 6 1/2 monthst total and that is not consecutive. I don't expect people to feel sorry because we knew what we were getting ourselvs into befor we got married. I just wanted to tell everyone here that I understand what everyone here is going through and I will always be here if anyone needs and or wants to chat. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your sacrifices and support. It really doeas mean alot to us. Take care and the best of luck to all of you and your loved ones (my brothers and sisters). SPC (P) Peterson

Hi SPC Peterson Thank you for the nice words. My husband and I have been together for over 8 years now, but married for 15 months. From these 15 months, we've spent about 6 months together before he deployed. I am sure that it is harder on you guys, especially when both of you are in the military, knowing how "flexible" (not) the Army is. At least I have the ability to re-arrange part of my schedule to fit my husband's. My husband is coming home around the same time as yours

Thank you so much for your sacrifice and dedication. Words are not enough to express how much I appreciate all that you guys and girls do! I know that men and women join the military for different reasons, but whatever the reason, one thing is for sure - it takes a lot of courage to make such commitment. HUGS!

Hi Jenny It has been a while, Glad to read you are doing ok, Yes our family is very excited that this deployment is close to the end. Tara is doing well she is also excited that it is getting close to coming home and getting to see family.
My prayers are with you all. Tara comes home and our grandson leaves for his second tour to Iraq. We want to thank all you in the military for the sacifice you are making may God bless each and every one of you.

Hi SPC Peterson, I pray after your husband finish this tour you will have a long time to spend time together, It has to be hard when your both in and trying to keep in touch while on your tours. Blessings to you
